[00:23.994] |
Saint Stephen with a rose |
[00:26.476] |
In and out of the garden he goes |
[00:29.323] |
Country garland in the wind and the rain |
[00:31.857] |
Wherever he goes, the people all complain |
[00:35.018] |
Stephen prospered in his time |
[00:37.734] |
Well he may and he may decline |
[00:40.399] |
Did it matter? Does it now? |
[00:42.985] |
Stephen would answer if he only knew how |
[00:47.008] |
|
[00:59.547] |
Wishing well with a golden bell |
[01:02.054] |
Bucket hanging clear to Hell |
[01:04.771] |
Hell halfway 'twixt now and then |
[01:07.383] |
Stephen fill it up and lower down |
[01:10.309] |
And lower down again |
[01:20.836][Bridge] |
|
[01:21.098] |
Ladyfinger dipped in moonlight |
[01:27.942] |
Writing "What for?" across the morning sky |
[01:34.995] |
Sunlight splatters dawn with answers |
[01:42.596] |
Darkness shrugs and bids the day good-bye |
[01:48.657] |
Speeding arrow, sharp and narrow |
[01:56.650] |
What a lot of fleeting matters you have spurned |
[02:03.677] |
Several seasons with their treasons |
[02:10.913] |
Wrap the babe in scarlet covers, call it your own |
[02:17.836] |
|
[02:27.396] |
Did he doubt or did he try? |
[02:29.930] |
Answers aplenty in the bye and bye |
[02:32.621] |
Talk about your plenty, talk about your ills |
[02:35.259] |
One man gathers what another man spills |
[02:39.778] |
|
[02:41.529][Instrumental Break] |
|
[03:05.796] |
Saint Stephen will remain |
[03:08.591] |
All he's lost he shall regain |
[03:11.099] |
Seashore washed by the suds and foam |
[03:13.581] |
Been here so long he's got to calling it home |
[03:16.951] |
Fortune comes a-crawling,Calliope woman |
[03:22.097] |
Spinning that curious sense of your own |
[03:27.635] |
Can you answer? Yes I can |
[03:32.807] |
But what would be the answer to the answer man? |
